Mile 21 is rather isolated and it does not receive much human use or abuse. Can snyone identify the tracks in the attached photo?

Mile 21 looks to be in great shape. It's a beautiful, relatively isolated stretch of beach, and no human interference was observed. I forgot my phone, so I don't have any photos to submit.
